Minority & regional languages

Language as identity — and politics.

In short

Language policy affects Russian-speaking minorities in the Baltics, Hungarian minorities in neighbouring states, and the push to make Catalan, Basque and Galician EU official languages. It touches education, identity and security.

Why it matters now

Baltic language laws and Spain's push for EU official status for Catalan are live debates.

The divide

Minority-rights camp

protect and expand language rights

Nation-state camp

strengthen the national language

Security camp (Baltics)
